“Cait is the BEST!! She went above and beyond for our pups. She sent my husband and I updates after every visit. We will definitely be using her services again if we ever need someone to watch or check on our dogs. We are so glad we found someone who loves our dogs as much as us!”

About: 22 -year-old college student who loves animals! Reliable, caring, and ready to provide your pets with the love and attention they deserve. Hope you’ll give me a chance! Being a 21-year-old college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care daily. I prioritize giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need, and I enjoy fitting this rewarding work into my routine alongside my studies and work. I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether in my home or the client’s. At home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and playtime. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely to maintain consistency and prioritize the pet’s well-being.
“Penny was awesome! Super accommodating, super responsive, and clearly worked magic with my super shy pup, even after a major natural disaster in our city. I will definitely book her again in the future now that I know my baby will be safe and happy with her.”

“Athena was incredibly helpful, kind, understanding, and patient with a difficult situation when my mom was in the hospital and she stepped in at the last minute to help with her dog. I would highly recommend her for anyone. She went above and beyond navigating difficult situations.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and now have a beautiful pit mix who I wish I could bring everywhere. (But when I visit your pets, mine will stay at home!) I’m happy to treat your crew with the love I wish my dog always received and the responsible care all pets need. I’m a freelancer, so I often have the flexibility to meet your schedule needs and maintain that schedule week after week so your pets are greeted by a consistent visitor and friend. I’m happy to visit your pets, let them out as needed, go for walks, administer meds, feed them, and if needed crate them so they’re cozy and safe before I leave.
About: I've been watching my sisters and neighbors pup for 5 years, which helped me learn how to take care of dogs no matter the age nor size. I'm also quick to adapt to whatever routine your furry friends require and adore them with the love they need. I'm currently working part time with low weekly hours so I can easily adapt your needed schedule into mines. I can also check on them anytime during the weekends if called for. One way I can make sure the feel safe and trusted is sticking to there schedule as close as possible, making sure they are feed on time, making sure they have fresh water, providing exercise and playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'll also make sure to keep owners updated with photos and inform them with messages.
“Ashley was great! We needed someone to watch our THREE cats over Christmas and we were worried it was a bit much, but Ashley took care of them with no issues and they were happy healthy kitties when we got home.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I’ve cared for and house sat for family and friends for decades. I’ve raised and trained my own dogs and currently now I have a cat.

I will mark times that I not available to get there. I can work with your needs if your pet requires time in a yard or is only allowed in certain rooms. I’ll follow your lead on, let me know!
“Whitney was incredible! This was my first time being away from my cat since I got him, so I had a million questions and lots of little things to note. She handled everything I asked—and more. I was nervous leaving my cat with a stranger, but she completely put me at ease. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Madi is our absolute favorite pet sitter! I don’t know what we would do without her. My mind is so at ease knowing she is watching after my girls. She takes such good care of them, is an excellent communicator and leaves my home in tip top shape. Thank you thank you Madi!!!!!”

“Kristen was amazing! Very responsive, helpful, and caring. She went above and beyond. Our cats loved her and so did we! It felt so great to know she was taking such great care of our fur babies. Thank you Kristen!”

“I just had the best experience with her taking care of my babies! She was super reliable, even on short notice, and you could really tell how much she loves my pups. I’m definitely going to use her services again in the future, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

“Lizzie was great! She was experienced with giving insulin which was a huge plus for our diabetic guy. We really appreciated the updates and videos we received and knowing everyone was well taken care of!”

“Hailey was phenomenal! Took amazing care of our puppy Bonnie and left our house cleaner than when she got here. Bonnie was happy, fed, and sleepy when I got home from work both days. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: Hi! I’m Jake, a lifelong dog lover with professional daycare experience. I grew up with dogs and spent time working at a busy dog daycare and boarding facility in Denver, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That experience taught me how to read dog behavior, keep play safe, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone else, so I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away, whether that’s during a walk, a drop-in visit, or longer care. My schedule is very flexible, and communication is important to me. I always keep my phone nearby and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make sure to follow what works best for them so they feel right at home. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I’m a musician who recently moved to town, so my schedule is very flexible right now. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attentive care. I structure my days so the pets I’m watching always get consistent attention, exercise, and communication with their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision, while keeping their environment safe and calm. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always communicate with owners so they feel confident their pet is living their best life and having a great time!

“Super grateful for her to help me out last minute. She's reliable, has good communication, and is trustworthy. My dogs liked her right away too which was great. Definitely recommend Mollie!”

“Megan takes excellent care of our cat Lilly. She is very responsive to us, has a keen sense of Lilly’s personality, and is attentive to Lilly’s nutrition, exercise, grooming and playtime. She provides plenty of pictures that let us see how Lilly is doing. She is key to Lilly (and us!) doing well while apart. We highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs.”

Madison dog parents share their Rover experiences
Astrid has been the most kind and caring pet sitter! She handled Gracie with care and comforted her in a high anxiety and stressful time. She was on time for all walks and feedings and if we ever get another opportunity, Astrid will be first on our list of people to watch our pets.

Claire did a wonderful job taking care of Milo while we were away for over a week. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. We had great peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to a happy, well-taken-care-of pup. We truly appreciate her excellent care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾

Matt was awesome with my 2 bulldogs. One is a senior and the other a young rescue bully with high energy and anxiety. Both dogs can be anxious I’m their own way, and Matt was great with each. I felt very comfortable having him care for my ‘drama dogs’ and would recommend for future drop ins or sittings.
